A vehicle seat having fewer components and having a pitching mechanism advantageous for strength/rigidity is provided. The vehicle seat includes: a base frame mounted in a vehicle compartment; a cushion frame pin-connected to a first connecting point of the base frame to be capable of a forward leaning operation; a back frame disposed to be capable of a reclining operation with respect to the cushion frame; a front link swingably pin-connected at a proximal end side thereof with a second connecting point of the base frame and slidably connected at a distal end side thereof with the cushion frame; a lock unit for locking the cushion frame to the base frame at a seated position and regulating a pitching operation of the main frame; and a release member for releasing a locked state.

The present invention provides a conveying apparatus comprising a plurality of rotary members; a frame for supporting the plurality of rotary members; and an endless belt wound around the plurality of rotary members and moved by rotation of the rotary members to convey a sheet, the belt including a core embedded within the belt and formed by weaving threads extending in a circumferential direction of the belt and threads extending in a widthwise direction of the belt; and wherein, in order to cancel a deflection force of the belt generated by the cause of distortion of the frame when the rotary members are rotated to shift the belt, each of the threads extending in the circumferential direction in the core has a constant twist direction to generate a deflection force opposite to the aforementioned deflection force.

Convey belt and conveying apparatus with it

An endless conveyor belt that has a nonexpansible and noncontractive core member and an elastic laminate layer bonded to one of the core surfaces. The core member and the laminate layer are preformed as an endless belt, respectively, and bonded together to constitute an endless conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is used for conveying an original paper to a predetermined position on a contact glass where the original paper is operated a predetermined treatment. The conveyor belt is assembled within an ADF in cooperation with belt rollers to rotary drive the conveyor belt. The belt is formed by a method that includes: a core belt forming process in which an endless core belt is formed from a nonexpansible and noncontractive material; a laminate layer forming process in which a laminate layer in a form of an endless belt is formed from an elastic thermoplastic material; and a bonding process in which the laminate layer is bonded to at least one of the surfaces of the endless core belt.
